Response headers
Content-Type: text/csv; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 12345 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Registrations-2014-02-12T15:19:21+00:00.csv" Last-Modified: Tue, 01 Jul 2014 16:35:19 GMT Expires: Tue, 01 Jul 2014 16:53:36 GMT
Note that the Expires
and Last-Modified
headers can be used to assess the need to fetch a fresh copy of the data. If a new request is issued before Expires
, then the same data is guaranteed to be returned, hence making such unintelligent polling useless.
